livinincali, just because there are more people in the US using food stamps now than in 2006 doesn’t mean the program has been increased by a significant amount of money or increased at all.

Seriously, could you at least do a quick google search and a little research before making this claim. Food stamp spending increased to record 80.4 billion per year in 2012. In Obama’s first year of office 2009 it was 55.6 billion.
Nobody wants to see anybody go hungry. I’d like to see this program actual go back to providing nutritious food to people. Not a debit card to spend at Walmart when the clock sticks midnight of the 1st of the month.
